If you can read code fast, it's very useful. I think this may be the biggest reason it's more helpful to seniors than juniors. It's easy for a senior engineer to forget how exhausting it is for juniors to read code. I can gla

In general it can get further the better the design/interfaces are. I find that if you can define your problem with a really clean set of interfaces, it can generally implement them perfectly. Most of the real thinking work is at the i

Will be interesting to see how institutions respond. Ideal outcome: Meaningful steps to address the healthcare crisis. Less ideal outcome: Parents whose children were denied coverage are put on a watchlist as potential terror suspects.

I'm guessing the compute needed to create this particular demo is prohibitive for any real-world use case, but it's an impressive proof of concept. Someday it will run on a phone tho.

Agreed. I also think React did the world a favor by making functional programming a little more mainstream, which is part of what makes JSX/TSX feel so magical when it works.

Wait did I just get a response from Carson himself? :) Though my comment belies it I'm a big fan of the work - I started following Intercooler a decade ago and I'm happy to see how far things have come. I'm curious about HTMX

Believe it or not even large teams can effectively constrain package adoption without abandoning NPM altogether. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean everyone who has must be new to the field.

I always feel like these HTMX examples just shift complexity to other parts of the stack. JSX is a really elegant way to avoid templating, but we're back to templating with HTMX, and you can easily reintroduce a complex set of librarie

You also don't have to choose any of those random NPM libraries, React can stand on its own. Adopting a new technology without any of those libraries just means having to roll your own, but that was always an option.

Yeah React itself is actually a very small part of the ecosystem that has evolved alongside React. And it's a mature ecosystem, therefore there's a lot of libraries to use that come at the cost of keeping them patched. It's e

I've wanted a standard rulebook format for ages. I should be able to intuitively flip to the win conditions page because it's always in the same place, for example.

Why would staying on top of Rust put you out of a job?

by causal 2y ago
This is kind of silly to me. You don't have to break up with Rust to use C++. Look for opportunities to adopt Rust, especially greenfield projects. We don't have to eliminate all C++ codebases first.
704.
by causal 2y ago
It is premature. And furthermore, adoption will mostly be driven by new projects written in Rust, not conversion of C/C++. That takes time.

My only issue with this approach is that some people need a lot of time to start monetizing something they invent. Say I write something cool and it takes me 20 years to find someone to buy it. This punishes anyone that can't move quic

I feel like you aren't reading this in context? It's important the author address the obvious reply, and they clearly state those efforts are not enough.

Agreed. The thought isn't particularly new, but it's nice to see the myriad examples compiled like this.

This is important, the reproducibility of information made the potential for endless bounty seem so prominent at first. I also don't think the antithesis is discussed here; copyright law, the DMCA, and all the ways in which IP helped m

This isn't prompt engineering, it's grammar-constrained decoding. It literally cannot respond with anything but tokens that fulfill the grammar.

I think that's the point - high school is a microcosm of OPs ideas and it is not something we want to scale up.

Unfortunately communism "...then was replaced by a <insert ruling class> after masses were sufficiently bamboozled by a strong leader" seems to be the kinetic outcome for every attempt at nation-scale communism.

Yeah I find that I reason about math in my head with names for symbols - the visual shape is not sufficient for the math part of my brain to manipulate it as a symbol.
